[At this moment, your strongest spell, Black Hole Annihilation Jetstream, which requires a long period of silent chanting, has long since finished preparing.]

[Black Hole Annihilation Jetstream (mythic+ skill): When stars fall into the most terrifying celestial body within the void, the black hole, and are annihilated, they unleash jetstreams capable of destroying all things. This skill is the strongest immortal grade ultimate secret of star magic, possessing devastating large-scale destructive power. Due to unknown reasons, this skill has temporarily fallen to mythic+ grade.]

[This skill requires lengthy spell chanting before it can be cast!]

[Rona exchanges a glance with you, then raises her staff, and a mysterious flashing character appears…]

[At the same time, dense darkness descends around you, darkness so complete that even light cannot escape…]

[When the darkness reaches its utmost density, it abruptly vanishes, and your figure vanishes along with it.]

[Because that darkness is enough to swallow any light that tries to shine upon you!]

[Rona swings her staff, and the mysterious character approaches you. As the character falls into the black hole, it too vanishes without a trace…]

[The character released by Rona serves as the star-body that falls into the black hole and is annihilated, causing the might of this spell to surge drastically, rising to the height of a god!]

[Only now does your figure finally appear once more!]

[The black hole’s terrifying might tears the character to pieces, and the flashing fragments of light surround the black hole, forming a dazzling and beautiful accretion disc…]

[And precisely at that moment, a searing jetstream capable of destroying all things… bursts forth!]

[It is as though the rage accumulated across the vast cosmos for billions of years has finally been released. The blinding radiance of the annihilation jetstream shines atop the lonely peak before cascading downward!]

[The vision of every one of the countless star spirits is filled by this terrifying yet beautiful jetstream. This is the most beautiful sight they have seen in their entire lives, and it is also the last memory of their lives.]

[Countless star spirits evaporate and die beneath the terrifying jetstream, turning to ash.]

[You obtained…]

[The number of enemies you have slain has reached a breakthrough point. The accumulated Demon-Banishment Merit has reached a critical value!]

[Your Shell, Desire-Bearing Greedy Wolf Star Lord, has the skill Star Commander Spirit Pivot Demon-Banishment Grand Art. Because Demon-Banishment Merit has overflowed, the skill’s quality increases!]

[Star Commander Spirit Pivot Demon-Banishment Grand Art has advanced from Legendary to Legendary+!]

[The Shell quality of Desire-Bearing Greedy Wolf Star Lord rises together with that skill, advancing to Legendary+!]

[Due to the compatibility bonus from your soul talent Thousand Faces, Ten Thousand Forms, this Shell’s compatibility exceeds 100%, and the Shell quality rises to mythic grade!]

[You look down below. The formerly flat land at the foot of the lonely peak has become a bottomless ravine. All the star spirits that had densely filled the area moments ago have vanished without leaving behind a single one.]

[In the distance, the half-dragon people of various kinds who stand in long lines stare blankly at you atop the lonely peak, their numb eyes filled with disbelief.]

[You possess the Shell of Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit!]

[You raise your head and roar. A dragon’s howl echoes throughout Despair Abyss. Hermit Descends removes the restraints of your human form and awakens the purest dragon bloodline…]

[In the blink of an eye, you become a gigantic black dragon!]

[You spread your wings and soar into the sky, roaring down to the countless dragon race members who have long been enslaved…]

[The Hermit lineage are not Oathbreakers who betrayed the true Lord. Like you, they are the most devout believers!]

[You have inherited the bloodline power of the six ancient dragon progenitors, and you have also inherited the will of the ancient dragon progenitors…]

[Hereby, you declare that the dragons… will never be slaves!]

[Tens of thousands of dragon race members stare blankly at your soaring figure in the sky. The numb expressions on their faces finally begin to waver, as though in endless darkness they have at last seen a hard-won ray of dawn…]

Eliminating the many star spirits not only earned a vast amount of Spirit Essence and many item materials, but also caused the Greedy Wolf Star Lord to once again advance in Shell quality.

The Greedy Wolf Star Lord’s Shell seemed to possess limitless potential, but in reality, advancing it was far too difficult, especially for an Apostle like Lin Xun who advanced so quickly.

An ordinary Apostle would remain within one difficulty for more than a dozen chapters or even dozens of chapters, and could then make perfect use of this Shell. But Lin Xun’s advancement speed was too fast, and the Greedy Wolf Star Lord simply could not keep up with his progress.

The Greedy Wolf Star Lord’s Shell also had hidden restrictions. Its Shell skills could not advance together with its quality, and such high grade skills in the library, while also needing to be related to true essence, basically did not exist. He would need to go to specific chapters in order to learn more advanced true essence skills.

Moreover, this Shell could probably only advance to mythic+ grade at most before being stuck due to lacking authority.

If he spent a great amount of time grinding monsters just to raise the Star Lord’s grade, that same time would be enough for Lin Xun to obtain a higher-quality Shell anyway…

Back to the main point. After proving the identity of the True God’s Envoy and inheritor of the ancient dragon legacy, the dragon race were finally freed from their endless enslaved existence, thanking him profusely and feeling boundless gratitude.

Saving the dragon race was not difficult. The difficult part was how to settle such a large number of dragons.

After asking Rona, Lin Xun decided to release the dragons back into the mountains and forests.

The Despair Abyss painting that contained the dragon race was too large, so large that it occupied an entire wall, making it inconvenient to carry and transfer.

Lin Xun could only return to the Painting Storage Room and choose a suitably sized Starlight Cage painting, then transfer the many dragon race members into it.

With the Executor’s identity, he had the authority to teleport these paintings, though transferring so many dragons still consumed quite a bit of time.

As for why he did not place them into the original Starlight Cage painting, it was because that painting still contained the demon overlord army.

If he put them together, the two sides would probably start tearing into each other immediately, and blood would flow like a river…

“Teleportation paintings really are good stuff. Too bad this damned game refuses to give me the actual ownership rights to them.”

[…]

[Everything is ready. You and Rona prepare to go find the Star High Priest.]

[At this time your hands are empty, while Valkyrie behind you silently follows in your footsteps, carrying a huge painting over one shoulder.]

[You return to the Astrolabe Hall, only to unexpectedly see that quite a few Polar Star Society members have already gathered there.]

[These star mages are all murderous in expression, solemnly listening to the person at the front speaking…]

[That person… that existence can no longer be called human. It is even more deformed and hideous than the Star Radiance Priest you have seen.]

[That malformed monster is wearing a pure white priest robe. Its obese body stretches the originally loose robe to an unusually tight state. The exposed skin is covered in mottled dark green scales. Waving four short, thick arms, it loudly says to the many star mages…]

[The Stargazer has gone missing. Someone must have secretly infiltrated headquarters while Lord Executor was away.]

[Everyone must search carefully and leave no corner unchecked. If you find the infiltrator, trigger the alarm immediately. Anyone capable of infiltrating headquarters must be quite formidable. Do not think of capturing the infiltrator alone…]

[The first person to find the infiltrator will definitely receive a heavy reward from the High Priest…]

[Halfway through the monster’s speech, it sees you and Rona return to the Astrolabe Hall. Its expression brightens, and it immediately greets you, Lord Executor, you have finally returned…]

[You see the appearance of Polar Star Society Star High Priest Who Gazes Upward for the first time. Your Knowledge stat increases by 35000! Current Knowledge stat: 114000/90800]

“…Damn it, my head’s about to explode!”

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, then immediately reacted and swiftly opened his Inventory.

He clicked the Polar Star Society Wax Seal and gifted it to Rona.

[You swiftly take out the Polar Star Society Wax Seal, this item capable of controlling the Star Annihilation Magic Formation, and throw it straight to Rona…]

[…]

[What you know has surpassed the critical point. You have touched the extraordinary, and you glimpse Omniscient True Knowledge once again…]

[Chaotic, disordered Knowledge continuously pours into your soul, and you gradually lose yourself within the sea of Knowledge.]

[Reason drifts away from you, and madness seizes your mind.]

[In a daze, you see the shocked eyes of the Star High Priest, and hear it blurt out in astonishment, You are not the Executor…]

[Your head explodes with a thunderous blast…]

[…]

[You died!]
